The 2024 Copa América has begun and millions of world football fans do not want to miss every match of their national team, and be able to see live the goals of sports stars such as Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez and “Lucho” Díaz.
For world soccer lovers who are not in the United States, where the tournament takes place, but want to enjoy each match from a Smart TV, there are several ways to project the mobile screen onto this device.
This method offers convenience and flexibility, allowing you to follow each play from the big screen in your living room. The following explains how it is possible to make this connection in a simple and effective way.
One of the most practical ways is through the Google Chromecast. This device connects to the HDMI port of the Smart TV and allows the transmission of content from a mobile phone.
To use it, you must connect the Chromecast to the TV’s HDMI port and a power source. Then you have to download the Google Home application on your cell phone from the corresponding application store (Google Play Store for Android or App Store for iOS).
Additionally, you must make sure that the cell phone and the Chromecast are connected to the same WiFi network. You have to open Google Home and follow the instructions to pair the Chromecast.
Then you have to open the application from which you want to watch the game (it can be a sports streaming app) and look for the transmission icon (similar to a television with waves) and select your Chromecast device.
For iPhone and iPad users, AirPlay is a powerful and easy-to-use tool for streaming content to Apple TV or other compatible TVs.
The first thing is to make sure that the TV has AirPlay support. Many recent Smart TV models from brands like Samsung and LG already include it; and connect your iPhone/iPad and the TV to the same WiFi network.
In addition, You have to enter the Control Center on the iOS device by sliding from the upper right corner of the screen. Select “Screen Mirroring” and choose your TV from the list of available devices; and open the application from which you will watch the game and enjoy the content directly on the television.
Miracast is a wireless technology that allows the transmission of content between compatible devices without the need for a WiFi network. Many modern Smart TVs and Android phones support Miracast. This is the step step:
- Make sure both your TV and cell phone are compatible with Miracast.
- Activate the Miracast option on your television. This is usually found in the wireless settings.
- On your cell phone, go to display settings and look for the “Cast Screen” option or something similar. Select your TV from the list of available devices.
- Open the Copa América match streaming app and play the content.
If you prefer a more stable connection without depending on the WiFi network, Using an HDMI cable is an excellent alternative.
- If your phone has a USB-C port, you will need a USB-C to HDMI cable. For devices with Micro USB, you will need an MHL adapter.
- Connect one end of the cable to the cell phone and the other to the HDMI port on the TV.
- Turn on your TV and change the input to the corresponding HDMI port.
- The cell phone content should automatically display on the TV. Open the app to watch the matches and enjoy the broadcast.
When choosing the best option to project your cell phone screen to Smart TV, take into account the characteristics and compatibility of your devices. Each method has its advantages and is suitable for different situations.
With these configurations, you will be able to follow every detail of the Copa América on the big screen of your television, enjoying a more immersive and comfortable viewing experience.
